Black and White Countryside

Thank you for looking, your comments are welcome.

Could have stood being cropped a bit on the left--about 1/4 of the pic could disappear and no one would miss it. That closest clump of trees really doesn't add much to the image.

 

But those clouds are fan-fuggin'-tastic!

The extra clump is a bit excessive, now I am not sure why I included it...you are right! Your critiques have been so helpful. There is so much to be said for simplicity and you know how to achieve it.
